Titles in Collection & Description
Discover the fascinating life and legacy of legendary fashion designer Christian Dior with Biographic: Dior. Combining captivating facts with colourful infographics, timelines, maps and visual comparisons, this engaging biography offers a fresh perspective on the man behind one of the world''s most iconic fashion houses.
Christian Dior (1905–1957) was the celebrated French fashion designer and founder of the world-famous Dior fashion house. His designs transformed the fashion world, but there are many fascinating details about his life and career that you may not know.
Before becoming a fashion icon, Dior owned a small art gallery where he sold works by artists including Pablo Picasso. He later employed a young Yves Saint Laurent as his assistant and famously included a garment named after his home town of Granville in every fashion show.
Dior was also highly superstitious about the number 8. His fashion house was based across eight workshops in an eight-storey building in Paris''s 8th district.
Biographic: Dior presents these fascinating facts and figures as a visual journey through the designer''s life and work. Featuring 50 defining facts, dates, thoughts, habits and achievements, the book uses infographics, timelines, maps and visual comparisons to reveal the creativity, personality and genius behind the garments.
